  1. Grayson is razor sharp! also the only member of congress to formally work as an economist

  2. I’ll keep telling you all…watch The Money Masters and End the Fed

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936#

    Buy Gold Bullion too, just not until the end of November if you know whats good for ya.

  3. Grayson’s questions are more pointed than Paulson’s and that’s good

    He is really getting close to asking the right questions and boxing in these guys, but he is still letting them slip through some cracks in the logic of his questions.

    but i think he’ll get to where he needs to go on this…

  4. @ Max
    You going to have Bill Still on anytime in the future?

  5. basically – grayson is confusing what the FOMC does and what the President’s Working Group on finance does (PPT) does.

    the overlap is in the area of fannie and freddie mac’s stocks

    Grayson should first establish that the Fed does engage in transactions in the open market. nobody argues this point. it is their mandate

    then – talk about the mortgage market that is a hybrid market of gov’t paper and private paper

    then – talk about FNM’s stock where the Fed violated their mandate and broke the law by buying/selling NYSE listed shares in FNM and freddi mac’s stock.

    … wherein the charge of front running also comes into play and the collusion between wall st. and washington also comes into play.

    …I think Grayson will figure this out soon enough.. and when he does, look for new laws protecting the Fed from investigation under state secret acts to appear.

  6. Yes, Stella. If you work hard at school and graduate top class then you can go to Harvard. Then you can work at the offices of Supreme court judge Anthony Scalia. Then you can run for office and be a Florida Representative to Washington. Then you can comb your hair back real well and be a good gal for Mommy, focusing on bringing back real values to America by closing the central bank. Daddy and I have gold buried under the trailer for those happy days!

  12. @ frances
    You aren’t going to get an audit of the Fed without broad based support from both sides of the isle. This guy has prosecuted war contractor fraud (you know, the guys who electrocuted soldiers in showers with faulty wiring?) I think he is a good guy. He may have a different agenda regarding other areas but I think he is sincere regarding this issue.

  13. I think the US needs a roman style dictator. There also should be the immediate institution of the rule that any public representative caught in a lie and unwilling to correct publicly is to it be instantly releaved from their duties and responsibilities.

  23. Danny, I like Grayson too…but who cares if he worked as an economist. If you watched the later testimony the expert generally dismissed the points made by the “expert” economists who oppose HR1207.

    As for the audit of the US’s gold…HA! I’d love to see that! It’ll never happen as far as I can see….

  24. Actually, and I’m almost ashamed to admit it,….I’ve bin pluggin’ this site,….(I’m not a frickin brown nose)

  25. @Super,……LOL,…I love it,..one of my fav’s

  26. Grayson is my nomination for ‘Man of the Year’, he probably would do well not to be getting on any planes now for awhile though. And his relection campaign might find itself short on dollars. Is this the only guy in this entire corrupt edifice known as the U.s. Congress that can face down the Fed Banksters and call them what they are? And the lawyer was right out of central casting. He is an FBI study in measuring a common,run of the mill bald faced liar. He had more tells flashing than I have seen since the idiot Bernanke was last seen lying on CSPAN. AT least Greenspan’s tells are more subtle. The turd-eating smile,the condescension when confronted, the immediate retreat into arcane obfuscation and Econ-Gibberish.

    Grayson’s my man. Heavy brass ones and with a light touch too.

    -Remarks by Chairman Alan Greenspan at the Catholic University Leuven, Leuven, Belgium (January 14, 1997)

  34. Grayson obviously works for the NWO. His little stunt was juvenile.

  35. Is US heading for another subprime crunch

    From page 2 :

    Banks are dumping Fannie and Freddie-backed securities onto the Fed’s balance sheet and replacing them on their own balance sheets with FHA-insured loans packaged into government-insured securities issued by Ginnie Mae.



    Because Fannie and Freddie securities are only implicitly guaranteed, banks that hold these securities as assets on their balance sheets must “haircut,” or set aside reserves, based on a 20% risk-weighting assigned to the value of those holdings.

    Because Ginnie Maes are explicitly 100% guaranteed, they are considered “risk free,” and on par with U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills. There is no reserve requirement, or haircut, on Ginnie Mae securities.

    By replacing their asset mix and holding Ginnie Maes, banks don’t have to set aside reserves. They can use the money they otherwise would have to set aside to actually leverage-up their balance sheets. And guess what they’re buying?

    More Ginnie Maes, naturally.

  40. Auditing the Fed is a good first step. There should be serious audits in every Federal Agency. Defense, HUD, Social Security, et al. The number of people I’ve met that quit accounting, due to fear of blessing Enron style audits is amazing. Let’s round them all up and audit every FedGov.Inc agency. And they we could start on the states. Plus, I’d put Walter Burien in charge, http://cafr1.com

  50. Didn’t I tell you a few days ago that the FED is the ONLY “buyer” of US debt currently, and doing it out of off-shore Caribbean banks with untraceable numbered accounts that are not subject to ANY form of audit by ANYONE, EVER?

    Let me think….dum-de-dum-dum-dum…yup: that’s Exactly what I said, and this shysters’ sphincter-clenching lies proves it.

    They “have” the Gold? Right. And I have two penises – you know, to better service?

    It is all of a piece. America is a WAR economy funded by idiot consumers and idiot buyers of it’s debt. Once they stop buying it’s worthless debt, the game is up. It’s as simple as that. And they HAVE stopped buying US debt – the farce going right now is the utterly absurd lie that US debt is still a desired “investment”. It’s desired ONLY by the US itself, via the FED, to keep the whole house of cards from collapsing for another few weeks or months.

    John Williams, using the unemployment metrics that were used during the Great Depression, has unemployment today at 21.8%

    History repeats itself: the only way the Capitalist system can survive the next few years is through a major global war, just like WWII: Wreck Everything that can be wrecked, buy up assets for pennies, impose disorder wherever possible, and then “come to the rescue” with a PLAN.

    Like Marx said, “history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce”. We’re in the Orwellian Farce Stage right now.

    The exact same empire-building characters are in place today and their agenda has NOT changed: profit by Any Means Necessary.

    I’m sorry: I really don’t want to come off as a “know-it-all”, but this is just basic, elementary, obvious shit, to anyone who has spent an ounce of energy studying history.

  51. No answers…they don’t answer to the people:

    “COMPLETE hocus-pocus. Who the —- does GATA think it is? The U.S. government owes it NOTHING of an explanation. If gold is manipulated, WHY would you touch it? If gold HAD been manipulated, the $1,000 price would have NEVER materialized. Keep rooting for the masses, and revolution, and all that nonsense. The market is the market, and it WILL prove you (and them) wrong. Tinfoils, one and all. I am no guru, but at least I do not dwell on science-fiction stories. THEY make a living at it. Pathetic.”

    Once the find it, it should be interesting.
    Interesting that Grayson was the only guy in the chamber. Does he have any support or are the rest of them all off at the casino?
    C’mon Grayson, he’s not gonna help you nail him. You gotta do your research better than that.

  73. Quarantined Navy ship – Captain And Chief Petty Officer dead from VACCINS! http://tinyurl.com/ybw8kk4

    The Navy ship that has been under quarantine for almost a month now is due to return tomorrow. All crew were given the vaccine and everyone got sick which resulted in the quarantine. The captain of the ship and the chief petty officer are confirmed deceased and the ship is now under command of a new captain.

    Crew are reported to have had fevers lasting 5-6 days with paralyzing fevers of over 104 degrees.

  74. Max nailed it. Grayson failed at presenting a clear line of inquiry. Sure there are those that will respond to someone sneering at and condescending to Fed counsel but he wasn’t very effective at eliciting any meaningful answers (good, bad, or otherwise). It seems to me the best way to enlist public support is to get the Fed to state in plain English what it is they have purchased, how they purchased it, who lost (paid), and who gained. Technical jargon and abstruse economic verbiage occupy the same space today as Latin did to Catholic churches in the dark ages.

    As for it being too late, if you want to move governments and societies with hundreds of years of inertia, you need to apply large forces over long periods of time (more than one election cycle, probably a decade or more to do something so drastic as abolish the Fed; it took the bankers half a century to get central banking reinstated in the US in 1913). You need investigations (e.g. the Pecora investigation leading to Glass-Steagall II) and the corresponding unmasking of evil to generate the kind of long term focus and consensus required to force unwilling hands in a (semi) democratic society.

    Personally, I’m more for investigations and prison sentences than peasant mobs and guillotines though it may be yet another of those heads – they win, tails – we lose coins.

    They gotto stick to the stimulus, at least for a while now or else the whole market will collapse. They gonna pull the plug in the future and I was just thinking when that will be? For now I think it will be in 1-2 years but it could collapse earlier due to other problems mainly the piling debt and the lose of confidence as a result of that. They can’t stop the stimulus, they can’t higher rates. How long are the able to surpress the gold market with all the chicanery?

  103. ALERT “seasonal ” flu vaccine contains H1N1 virus as a component.

    This was sent to me , it is a picture of the label on the flu vaccine being given as the “seasonal” vaccine

    http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/mopar28m/scan0001.jpg

    It also contains H3N2 and tons of mercury. It is a bio weapon, they are giving it out as “seasonal” vaccine to sneak it past those who know not to take the H1N1 vaccines.

    Check it out and double check it , if this is 100% accurate , it is grounds for some serious action.

  104. So, how much you wanna bet this Grayson dude gets “exposed” by the Corporate Media for some irrelevant personal peccadillo or commits “suicide” or dies in a small plane “accident” in the next few months?

    Making the FED look stupid is like asking for pancreatic cancer…he’s brave.

  105. @youri

    Don’t ever take a “vaccine”. Homo Sapiens Sapiens has survived for hundreds of thousands of years without these Biological Weapons.

    Given that we live in a Capitalist system, the ONLY thing that makes sense to a pharmaceutical company, from a business standpoint, is to make “vaccines” that CREATE more “business”, i.e. More Diseases down the road Requiring More “vaccines”.

    It’s perverse. The people run it are perverts. And, frankly, they should be killed.

    just watched the micheal moore clip…he’s talkin’ bout cha…yeah that’s right you!

    “I was talking to people the middle class and the upper middle class these were people who worked hard their whole lives believing in the system, believing in the promise that if they worked hard and the company prospered they would prosper…and you know it’s one thing if you have been poor you have never really lived so you wished you had lived better, but if you already lived better and the thing you love the system…that you were so loyal to, snatches it away from you like that and makes you poor the level of anger”
    or as I put it most days of the week…”it’s just a bunch of deluded straight goers who deserve everything they get…because they were asking for it…and as for the rest of us…like the song sez…’you can’t miss what you can’t measure’ straight goers have always been the problem not the banksters”

    I think micheal needs to work on his presentation or get some PR!

  107. this grayson guy is a champ, and handled his opponent awesomely. he asked his questions, led his opponent into a giant trap, and when the guy tried squirming out of answering the question with usual lawyer dribble/doublespeak/lingo/baffle the audience with bullshit, snaps him back and follows up with his next question ie giant trap number 2.

    now. who has a gun big enough to actually force the answers out of these parasites, and get stuff done?

  108. @ilya kuryakin – how do ‘they’ give whistleblowers and other troublemakers pancreatic cancer? I’ve always wondered how it is that so many troublemakers end up with it so conveniently.

    The US Bio-warfare budget is unknown, but it is VAST, probably somewhere around $10B a year, and it has a VERY long history,

    …I had planned on supplying you with about ten more links about political aircraft accidents, but, oddly enough, those CNN, ABC, NBC, NYT, WAPO, links “cannot be found” now… how odd.

    But a simple google search should provide enough alternate links.

    This is how the capitalist/feudalist system works: anyone who stirs shit, who is actually Important, gets Killed.

    ALL of recorded history is nothing BUT “conspiracies” and plots and double dealing and assassinations for political/economic reasons – seriously, how many f*cking “empires” do we need to suffer before it sinks into our thick numb skulls?

  129. @ frances

    I don’t know Grayson, nor do I care. The operative statement about that video was, in fact, all of the Empty Seats.

    It’s just like Ahmadinejad’s address to the UN: he was more eloquent and genuinely believable than anyone else who spoke but for Gaddafi and Chavez, and no one of import even showed up.

  130. @Ilya:
    The seats were empty because the reps had all rushed out to puke.

  131. Grayson is a brave man! Go Grayson

  132. Has the fed ever tried to manipulate the stock market?

    A couple of month backs there was a quarter trillion DoT auction of treasury notes. One day later, the FED is buying back the same notes auctioned the day before. This is a classic PONZI scheme that did two things. One it enhance the profits of the primary dealer that purchased the note at auction and it manipulated the market value of treasury notes. In a real market, the seller does not but back what he sold the day before at a higher price:
    http://www.chrismartenson.com/martensoninsider/fed-buys-last-weeks-treasury-notes

    From an interview with Larry Summers, from the Economic Advisory Board, aka, the “Plunge Protection Team” said this on the Charlie Rose show in 2008:
    “As long as it’s ‘the right thing to do,’ the Fed and Treasury will do what it takes to keep the system functional. Money, or should I say paper money, is no object.”
    http://www.taipanpublishinggroup.com/Taipan-Daily-091608.html

    That sure sounds like an affirmation that the FED is involved in manipulating markets, or am I just being a conspiracy lune?

    But the biggest affirmation of that the FED is maniulating markets is the way Mr “So” errrr “So” errrr “So”, the FED’s beady eyed lawyer avoided answering the question:

    “Does the FED manipulate .. markets?”
    Had he answered “NO”, he would be two steps from disbarment and meat on the spit I used to wave my “Don’t Tread On Me” flag”.

    Larry Summers, in one afternoon, for just showing up at a bagel and latte photo fest at Goldman Sachs received 135 Thousand dollars in fees. Larry Summer is Obama’s Economic Advisor – that should tell you all you need to know about who the pretense of government is working for.

    When Banks get “grants” from the FED (note: they should not be categorized as loans because there is not requirement for them to pay it back) at zero rates, my friends, we have have to accept the republic is lost and and our country has been hijacked by a bunch of low iodine oligarchical dominion heretics, ZOG, who think that god had chosen them, and sacrificed us, in the name of righteousness.
